    Athlone town... about 30. There's at least one bookies on every street is the main part of the town. Ken Doherty recently opened another one (Fox's) on Connaught street recently.

    I dunno how to compare it being from Dublin, but we'll say with in a 3 mile radius of where I live, I could think of at least 12.

    4 Powers
    4 Ladbrokes
    3 Boyles
    1 Chronicle
    2 Hacketts
    2 Hills
    2 Celtic

    Golden pages say there are 101 in Dublin - I'd tripple that figure to make it more accurate...

    I think there are 11 in and around Wexford town, maybe 1 or 2 more.

    2 PP, 2 Boyles, 1 Celtic, 1 Hills, 1 Ladbrokes. Then we have a Harcourt Bookamers, a Slaney Bookmakers and 2 more at least whose name I can't remember.
